Hehe, my progress?

It took me a day to get it to work, only to realize it was completely useless with out a patch to make the "pad" work like key events(up = up on keyboard etc). You see the PAD is supposed to act like a mouse but this doesn't work without applying a patch(surprise).

So there is two patches and these patches aren't very well supported/noob friendly:

PAD2Keys: http://brakemeier.de/electronics/vdr/lirc-imon.html
PAD2Mouse: http://venky.ws/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=60



But maybe i just suck at LIRC, after a reboot the remote stopped working and i had to reinstall everything.
So that's my progress so far...

But it would be awesome to get two remotes to work with the same IR recevier then i can let my multi remote learn from the PAD and the XBOX remote.

Here's a thread about the IR receiver you might wanna read, apparently the harmony should "work" :

I only bought the imon inside becasue of the power on feature AFAIK the vista/mce remote doesn't have any power on function right?

I don't think you can power on the computer with the mce remote ... atleast not if you're using the mce ir-receiver. Regarding using the xbox remote with imon inside seems to be difficult to, as described in the links you posted it seems like the imon inside receiver only supports a couple of ir-protocols. Problably not the one used with the xbox, but that's just me guessing.

My thoughts is to use my harmony with two "devices". One device with the imon pad remote, just to power on the computer and one device for mce remote to interact with xbmc. Seems like lirc isn't even in use to power on the computer, so the lirc config should only be made for mce remote. I don't know if this work in the real world, but in my own mind it makes sense

Did you have trouble installing the ir-receiver of imon inside also or was the problem just getting the remote to work correctly?
